An aquarium wants to install a new fish tank with a parabolic glass dome fitted at its bottom to allow visitors to look at the marine life from below. The glass dome will be 60 feet in diameter and will have a depth of 4 feet. Find the equation of the parabolic cross-section of the dome.

Which Equation?

A) y^2 = 16/30 x

B) y^2 = 4/15 x

C) y^2 = 1/225 x^2

D) y^2 = 15/14 x^2

E) y^2 = 1/15 x^2

Respuesta :

Answer - A

standard equation of parabola y^2 = 4*a*x

putting y = 4 and x = 30 inn above equation

we get a = 4/30

so, the parabola equation is y^2 = 16/30*x

Answer:

A) y^2 = 16/30 x
